Internal Inspection:

Using thumbscrews, the back panel can be removed very easily.

The inside of the case looks very similar to other cases. However, there are a few differences due to the overall design of this case.

At the bottom is a location to install a single 5.25" device, so typically your optical drive will be installed here. Below the 5.25" drive bay is a single 3.5" hard drive bay. Directly to the right of the 5.25" drive bay is the area to install your power supply. Chieftec has put a piece of steel over the cover to provide more support during shipment.

Seven expansion slots will ensure that most modern ATX style motherboards can be installed in this chassis. The exception would be for extended ATX motherboards. The expansion slots are not tool-less, which would have been preferred. I do like this style of expansion slot cover though, as they snap in and out easily.

At the top right side of the case is the single 120mm intake fan. The 120mm case fan uses a four pin "Molex" connection for power, a standard fan connector would have been preferred so it could be connected to the motherboard. This is the only fan installed in the case. While this will help keep the noise level down, I would like to see an additional fan used as an exhaust.
